Is the backflash always a screen print on loose celluloid in all cases? I've only ever owned one and that had cockled and split quite badly.

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the Nickel plating ...which kit did you get?
The machine looks great .....brilliant graphics on the backflash!

It's Too Big Bear in mind the weight of a one arm bandit when you collect it. Similar with Pinballs... With my first purchase of a 70s machine, I assumed the backbox would be easy to remove (and was assured it was, by the vendor). They don't easily remove and fit in an MPV. I had to return with a m...

Could start a dangerous trend in other anatomical offerings

Written from my hospital bed.... open window was 15 feet away, bloody long drop into the front garden. But thanks for the suggestion.

Can't seem to enlarge Slotalot's file above. Any chance of a larger image? Thanks. Fascinating mechs.

Now you've got me trawling the 'build a slot machine' section! Some fascinating stuff on there (especially love an old thread I found on Israeli Allwins ) It's got No1 son interested in coin mechs if nothing else

I think that 'Conveyor' in the Arcade section would make a great project.

If that's the case and you are in the habit of problem solving with the juice on, then there's every opportunity for you to arrive in the opposite corner of the room with half a melted screwdriver tightly gripped in your smoldering fingers. I remember that lesson when I was a teenager messing with ...

I wish my workshop was so tidy! Nice bit of routing on the new cabinet
I have always admired the skill of recreating 'patina'. Look forward to seeing the finished article.

Brilliant .....'Shed Engineering' at its finest. Looking forward to seeing the video. Hope to inspire my two boys off the XBox and into the garage (some hope!)

Aren't they re-manufactured when they go out of stock? I guess its quite a high re-order to make economic sense.

What a great kit! Got to put one of those on my christmas list.

Hi,
I'm no expert but I imagine they won't be 'M' (metric) series on American machines which are on imperial sizes. I am sure someone will have the correct sizes.

I saw one of these at a car boot in the summer ...wish I had bought it now ( although not sure why!)
Just read the other thread ....which could possibly merge nicely with my 'Mid-life crisis' one.
I'm going back to catalogue my collection of Lilliput Magazines!

Not sure whether it's true, but a postman friend told me that they run packages through a huge machine and look through a window and if 3 cherries come up they charge the customer X% of the value of the goods

I do have a digital printer and am happy to bang out a flyer and post any number to anyone that is going to an event like the Coventry auction or similar later in the year if that helps.

Surely we (collectors) have been 'caught' in a blanket law that was never conceived to cover 'us'. I am sure that even the gaming/gambling commission, who are probably spread as thinly as any other civil servants, wouldn't want to be bothered prosecuting collectors rather than operators who the law ...

Mike at The Robin Hood in Sheringham has agreed to display some postcards with details of the petition in the pub.
I've set up a PDF of the card which can be downloaded at http://www.endofthepier.com/A5%20flyer.pdf if anyone wants something to press into unsuspecting hands!

I came to the forum looking for technical advice ......but found a spiritual home
